  • The website may include third-party frameworks, plugins, and fonts, such as Bootstrap, FontAwesome, Swiper, Google Fonts, and other open-source WordPress plugins.

  • The custom theme will not be included in the transfer unless a separate licensing fee is agreed upon.

2.2 Rebuilding on Another Hosting Provider
